This is a good analogy. I’ll give you an ever better one: the Montreal Expos. From Gene Mauch to Dick Williams to Buck Rogers, Felipe Alou (I’m omitting Karl Kuehl, Charlie Fox & Tom Runnels) and Frank Robinson they always hired who they felt was the best manager available. Not once did we ever hear the french media or local fans complain about the manager not being able to address the media in french. Not once did we hear anyone suggest that Claude Raymond or JP Roy should be the Expos manager because they spoke french. I feel for the die-hard habs fan who never gets to see the most available most qualified coach get hired because of that stupid policy the team has which i feel discriminates against english-speaking or european coaches.I know its a different sport guys.But i know that Ferrari is to car racing what the canadiens are to hockey.I don t believe Enzo Ferrari said to himself in order for my pilots to be able to communicate with me and the italian people and the italian press they must speak italian.No he went out and got the best pilots.One of them who came from our region of Quebec.Who btw learned to speak italian later on in his career.30 years without winning a stanley cup time to wake up and start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX.
